Lewis Spencer and Maher Nouira, who were battling in the $50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Cyprus only a few days ago, were involved in a pot of 38,500 chips when they arrived on the turn on 5♥6♣2♦4♣.
Spencer bet 9,500 chips from the big blind and Nouira called from the hijack. The river then fell the A♠, a seemingly dreaded card as both players now checked.
Spencer tabled his 8♠8♣ for a pair of eights, but Nouira played the higher pocket pair with Q♥Q♦ and raked in the sizable pot with his pair of queens.

Eros Calderone: A♠Q♦
